    Woah - prices have moved on for these boots.

    I had a pair in the early-mid 90s which full price I remember cost me £85 from a shop in Richmond. Same boots are now knockin' on £250.

    Now, I know about inflation, but these boots must be trackin' house prices.

    I always mention Thorogood when this comes up. Genuine US made work/winterboots, as good as Redwing and around 50% of the UK price. For real bad weather a pair of Sorel are good value too.

    Just checking these out, what it the fit like? True to size?

    Hard buying footwear remotely as everything seems to be sized different these days!

    I'm a UK 10 and have 6" Moc is a US 11. I only wear them in bad weather so went up a half size to allow for thicker socks.

    I got some great Ex Military English Army boots, fantastic grip even on ice, waterproof as the tongue is full length and stitched all the way up
    They are leather outer and leather lined £29:99 from Becketts in Norwich, I liked my first pair so much I bought another pair. They are great.

    They have gone up a little but still great kit. They also do brand new unissued kit
